A threatened abortion or miscarriage are the same condition. A patient may present with vaginal bleeding or cramping in early pregnancy, but an ultrasound will show a live fetus (baby) and the patients cervix will be closed. The majority of these patients will continue to have a normal pregnancy, but some will progress to complete miscarriage.
Currently pregnant
Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose threatened abortion
Are you currently pregnant?
Have you had vaginal bleeding, brown or pink colored vaginal discharge outside of your periods? Or, after the menopause?
A specialist typically needs to confirm the diagnosis. With a closed cervix and normal fetal heart beat, they will generally recommend some form of rest and avoidance of sexual activity till things stabilize. Occasionally a medication such as progesterone may be prescribed.
